Lin Mingqian snorted coldly and said nothing.

Song Yingyue looked at Lin Tingwan with resentment, "If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have given birth to you!"

"Song Yingyue!" Lin Mingqian roared.

Song Yingyue was frightened for some reason and shuddered, and she closed her mouth tightly. Lin Tingwan thought that she was probably afraid that Lin Mingqian would hit her.

Lin Tingwan curled her lips and smiled, but the smile was a little pale, "It's okay, mother just said it unintentionally."

This time, Song Yingyue said nothing. She lowered her head and didn't even look at Lin Tingwan.

She took two deep breaths and said, "Don't think that I won't know where Yue Hong is if you don't tell me." After that, Song Yingyue turned and left.

Lin Tingwan sighed after watching all this, turned to look at Lin Mingqian and asked, "Dad, just tell me where my brother is."

On weekdays, even if Lin Yuehong didn't know something, Lin Mingqian was willing to discuss it with Lin Tingwan.

This time, Lin Tingwan was surprised. Lin Mingqian shook his head gently and said softly, "Yangyang, it's not that Daddy doesn't want to tell you. Your brother is really fine. Don't worry. Don't ask any more questions."

Lin Tingwan's eyes trembled slightly, but she was still worried. She stared at Lin Mingqian and slowly asked, "Are you sure your brother is okay?"

Lin Mingqian nodded slowly.

Lin Tingwan knew that no matter how she asked Lin Mingqian, he would not tell her, so she stopped asking and nodded, "I know, Daddy, so I won't ask anymore. But if anything happens to my brother, I will definitely not be happy."

"Don't worry..." Lin Mingqian paused and sighed, "No matter what, your brother is my own son. Can I just watch him get into trouble?"

Lin Tingwan nodded vigorously, "That's good."

Lin Mingqian reached out and touched Lin Tingwan's head helplessly, "Yangyang, don't think too much. Don't take your mother's words to heart. She has a sharp tongue but a soft heart."

"I understand. Don't worry, Dad. I won't argue with Mom."

"Dad is so great——"

Having said that, Lin Tingwan was still not at ease. After Lin Mingqian left, she asked Yuzhu and Lianqiao to go out and inquire.

Who would have thought that Lin Yuehong seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth and there was no news about him.

Even though Lin Tingwan was anxious, she had no other options. No matter how she asked Lin Mingqian or how she tried to find a solution, she only got this result.

He refused to say anything.

This year was the most silent year for the family. I don’t know if it was because Lin Yuehong was not there or for some other reason.

No one said a word at the table. After finishing the reunion dinner in silence, Lin Mingqian stood up, said he had important matters to deal with, and turned and left.

Song Yingyue and Lin Tingwan looked at each other in silence, not knowing what to say. Finally, Song Yingyue stood up, turned around and left in silence.

Lin Tingwan sighed, waved his hand, and called Yuzhu and Lianqiao over, "Let's keep watch together tonight."

Lian Qiao was startled when she heard this, and quickly said, "Miss, this is probably against the rules."

"Today is New Year's Eve, there is no need to follow so many rules. Please sit down."

The two looked at each other, and finally sat down next to Lin Tingwan tremblingly.

Late at night, silence enveloped the entire Shangjing City.

Outside the window, there were only a few lights left, flickering in the dark night. The breeze blew by, making people shiver.

But at this moment, suddenly, a loud bang resounded throughout the sky, and all kinds of fireworks and firecrackers flew into the sky, like a beautiful dance in the sky, sometimes illuminating the entire night sky, and sometimes dissipating in the darkness.

The riot of colour interweaves into a magnificent painting that makes people intoxicated. There are constant laughter outside the window, but Lin Tingwan's heart is extremely silent.

The gorgeous picture becomes more precious and beautiful in the suppression of the spray. If life is like fireworks, then the fireworks set off on New Year's Eve are a carnival of life announcing the new year, as if at this moment, all things have spirituality.

……

In the past, the emperor and empress would spend New Year's Eve together.

This year is different. His Majesty actually disregarded the rules left by his ancestors and rested in the palace of Concubine Shu.

When Pei Yanli received the news, she turned around and looked at the queen with a worried look, but there was no trace of sadness on her face.

This made Pei Yanli unable to help but be stunned. The queen turned her head to look at him and asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Yanli? Today is New Year's Eve, be happy."

Pei Yanli tried his best to force a smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

"I am alone, mother."

The queen nodded in satisfaction and turned to look at the gorgeous fireworks outside the window. "When you get married, bring your wife and children to celebrate the New Year with me."

This sentence instantly brought Pei Yanli's memory back to his previous life.

Just as the Queen said, he took Lin Tingwan with him to celebrate the New Year's Eve together. At that time, he was still the Crown Prince, and there were not so many troubles between him and Lin Tingwan.

The relationship between the two was considered very good. At that time, he remembered clearly that there were stars in Lin Tingwan's eyes when she looked at him. But now, the light had long been extinguished.

"What are you thinking about?"

"I'm wondering when I can get married."

The queen sighed deeply. She naturally understood the meaning of Pei Yanli's words. She slowly said, "When spring comes, I will ask your father to arrange a good marriage for you."

"Mother, you know that she is the only one in my heart and the only one I want to marry."

The Queen said helplessly, "Yan Li, you are the Crown Prince. Let's not talk about it before. It is not good if the position of Crown Princess remains vacant. You still need their help now, do you know?"

"But apart from Yangyang, I don't want to marry anyone else."

"Don't tell me you want to be an idle prince? If you really reach that level, no one will care whether you get married or not. But Yan Li, are you really willing to do that?"

The queen knew clearly that her son was no ordinary man and his desire for power was no less than that of the current emperor.

"If I can get Yangyang, it doesn't matter if I lose all my power."

Pei Yanli couldn't help but speak out what was in his heart.

The Queen couldn't help but look at him in shock, with a puzzled look on her face, "Are you really so deeply in love with me?"

"Without Yangyang, I don't know why I'm here."

Pei Yanli meant the meaning of his coming here in this life, but the Queen misunderstood. She looked at Pei Yanli in surprise and said slowly, "I think you are really crazy."

"In that case, I will find a way for you. She can't marry your uncle so easily."
